Last weekend we witnessed the three best performances of the National Hunt season so far. Lossiemouth, Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File all brought their A games to the track on their seasonal reappearances.

The analytics tell us that they are all at least as good as ever which is a sobering though for potential opponents in championship races this season. The slight caveat must be that they all had quite tough races which is usually the case when a horse produces outstanding data.
